It's International Women's Day, so when you see people zooming by on electric scooters, I remember Lady Norman and her autoped.

@dps910 If you prefer to think a 2nd generation suffragist, married to a liberal politician who explicitly supported women's rights used an autoped to save 2p for the underground, so be it

@dps910 @jwildeboer I don't know how it was then, but even now I sometimes wish I had a bodyguard on public transit. I'd imagine avoiding the tube and avoiding the need for manly protection were the same thing.

@dps910 it just means, that it would be harder for you to earn 2 pence, than today

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman@jwildeboer there are endless great contributions women have made to the world but you chose the most annoying invention
can't walk in peace in a city since those arrived -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman@jwildeboer just here to point out that is a gasoline engine not an electric scooter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman@jwildeboer I wonder how many replies from "Actually" guys this toot will accumulate before the day is over...
-
@jwildeboer you implied it
@Wyatt_H_Knott I didn't and the power source for the autoped was definitely not the point of my post. Have a nice day!

@ridetheory The lengths some guys go to just to avoid discussing or, gasp, supporting women's rights on women's day will never cease to amaze me

@jwildeboer I hate to see it on the Fediverse.
Guys, if you're out there composing an "actually" toot right now, stop and ask yourself "Does this contribute to the celebration of Women's Day?" If not, don't post it.

@jwildeboer Not trying to give you shit, but when you say "when you see people on electric scooters it makes me think of this lady on her scooter" you are indeed implying it's an electric scooter. That's how language works, you suggest a connection and leave it open to the reader to make it, that's literally what "imply" means. So. A nice day to you as well.

@jwildeboer And now I WILL give you a little shit, since this post deserves it:
what she's demonstrating is CAR CULTURE. "I have money, fuck those plebs on the subway." It's not as virtuous as you seem to think.
NOW you can go away and have a nice day.
